News and Notes:   Monday, March 8^th

It is important for all our Eastside members to meet and/or get to know better the new Christians in our work. The Gospel is as powerful as the first day it was preached 2000 years ago, and that is evidenced by soft hearts accepting its message of salvation. A few weeks back, Matt Sanchez was immersed for the forgiveness of sins. He is Heather Gardner’s boyfriend and we are glad to have him. Last week, Marisol Infante, daughter-in-law of Junior Hernandez was baptized into Christ’s body.

And last night, Megan Powell, Cameron Gardner’s girlfriend, obeyed the gospel in baptism as well. She is a sweet girl and her sincerity is so encouraging! These are three fine young people and give us great hope for the future of the church in this area. Please take the time to meet them when you have opportunity.
